More about Big Chill
Big Chill is a light, cool gray at LRV 62 — a clean true gray with a soft blue base and none of the greige warmth, ideal for a crisp, contemporary room. It's the choice when you want gray to read as a fresh, airy gray rather than a warm greige.
Its cool base reads stronger in north light, so it's happiest with warm or balanced light. It pairs with cool whites and modern finishes. Behr Mexican Silver is a near-identical cross-brand match, with Benjamin Moore Barren Plain close behind.
